Hot cam or CC305 would be safe bets I think.

call comp, or lunati. A big cam does not always make the most power (most times it makes less power than even a stock one)

yeah after a certain point the bigger you go you'll need more fuel to back it up.

A big cam will also put your power band higher up in the RPM range. Unless you have some really good heads supported by a good valve train your not going to enjoy the full benefits of a big cam.

A very good read for anyone looking to buy a big cam.
